Universal scaling of the 3:2 twin-peak quasi-periodic oscillation frequencies with black hole mass and spin revisited
We discuss further observational support of an idea formulated a decade ago
by Abramowicz, Klu{\'z}niak, McClintock and Remillard. They demonstrated that
the 3:2 pairs of frequencies of the twin-peak black hole (BH) high-frequency
quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) scale inversely with the BH masses and that
the scaling covers the entire range from stellar to supermassive BHs. For this
reason, they believed that the QPOs may be used for accurate measurements of
masses and spins of BHs.Comment: ApJL, 798, L5 (2015
